Default Priming the car before starting up after---

Hey, I pulled my turbo two weeks ago and my car will be sitting another week before I put the turbo on and fill it with oil, there is some residual oil I would imagine within the Turbo so should i prime the car before I start it up?

best way to prime? Pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank it a few times?

Pull the plugs and disconnect the injectors and crank for about 20 seconds or until you read oil pressure(if you have a gauge).

Much easier to pull the EFI and Fuel pump fuse and then crank until you get oil pressure

I meant to say EFI and Ignition instead

EFI = Electronic Fuel Injection, none other than the fuel pump
